Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.
Microscopic view of a gas Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Microscopic view of a gas. Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Note that:
Particles in a:
gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a:
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.
I'm going to assume that the 10.97 km/s is the velocity at the end of the cannon.
vi = 0
d = 220m
vf = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s
a = ???
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
10970^2 = 0 + 2*a*220
10970^2 / 440 = a You are right this is a pretty big number.
2.73 * 10^5 = a
Answer:
The force that happens between two particles with mass
Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere
Answer:
13.7m
Explanation:
Since there's no external force acting on the astronaut or the satellite, the momentum must be conserved before and after the push. Since both are at rest before, momentum is 0.
After the push
Where 
is the mass of the astronaut, 
is the mass of the satellite, 
is the speed of the satellite. We can calculate the speed 
of the astronaut:
So the astronaut has a opposite direction with the satellite motion, which is further away from the shuttle. Since it takes 7.5 s for the astronaut to make contact with the shuttle, the distance would be
d = vt = 1.83 * 7.5 = 13.7 m
